Chapter 53 

A month later. 

“Elena dear, your mother is on the phone,” Sondra sings out from the front of the bakery. I set the boys down in the crib they shared when I worked at the bakery for Sondra. I came in three days a week with her to help her with orders. With Axton’s money we managed to get the ranch up and functioning, built extra cabins on the property for the Rogue women, as the main house only had six bedrooms. Everyone pitched in around the ranch. 

And for the past month our lives have been pretty care free, yet I loved the days I worked in town because it was the only time I really got to speak to my mother. There wasn’t much cell service out on the ranch, and even if there was, I didn’t want to run the risk of Axton catching odd calls from the middle of nowhere to my mother’s phone. 

Hearing the bell above the door of the bakery, Sondra sets the phone down on one of the dessert display cases. Picking it up, I can’t help the smile that slips onto my face, knowing I am about to hear my mother’s voice. 

“Hey, Ma.” | answer, taking the phone, and walking back out to the small office where the boys are sleeping. She falls silent, and I peer at the small LCD on the phone screen, not recognizing the number she is calling from. 

“Alpha Axton has amped up his search for you and the boys, all packs were forced to open their borders to let his men pass through.” my mother tells me and I sigh. 

“That doesn’t surprise me,” I tell her. “I’m assuming that is the reason you are using another phone.” 

“Yes, I think he bugged my other one. I am not sure how long I will keep this number for, but I think it is best if I call you only,” I nod my head reaching for the tea towel, my jeans were covered in flour and so were my arms.
